Hello everyone! What did you reckon to this review? Let me know in the comments below! If you enjoyed it be sure to like the video too as it helps my channel a lot :)
super glad I came across this, I was looking at Aeropex and din't even realise there was a newer, better value model out, thanks !
A through review really, it would be nice to hear feed back from manufacturers regarding the while cycling phone call performance!
Sold me on a pair. Just ordered some on sale for £55 thanks👍
These headphones sound decent pleasantly surprised👍

Keira, the magnets are not for sticking them to your head, not sure about yours, but my head is not magnetic; the magnets keep the ends together when you are not wearing them. The other thing I find, having used Aftershokz since they first came to market (on my third set), is that anything over 20mph and the air noise over the headphones means you cannot hear much.
exactly my experience. Great for MTB, running, and just listening around the house. Not great for road cycling.
Get Cat Earz for your helmet straps. They block wind noise
Problem is it made me doubt a fair amount of the rest of the review!
Why doesn't @Keira McVitty reply to your post?
good review. especially liked the indoor and outdoor call testing
Thanks for the comparison with the other Aftershokz models. Just the info I was looking for. Great review
Your a champion, I bought this unit after your very informative review. I'm more than very pleased with them. Great when out and about, whether listening to music, podcasts or audio books. You save me a few hundred dollars on what I may have bought. Thank you very much.
I bought Aftershokz just cause so many cyclist had them in Korea, saw your review last year and that did it for me. Gamechanger for cycling / running!
thank you very much for doing this demo I just bought me a couple pair of theese thanky for doing the review thank you for calling in and out on them as well so we can hear how it sounds on phonecalls..
THANK YOU for the audio samples of the phone calls !
No worries! I didn't have it in my last review but I thought it was super important to include it because it's a key feature :)
Good, detailed review. Thanks!
Nice video! Few questions:
Do the Aeropex perform better for calls? How about while cycling?
How is the sound leakage compared to the Aeropex?
Thanks for the video. Any news regarding the Aftershokz Open Comm and Open Comm Pro ? Release date and price in UK ? EPBMAN already reviewed the Open Comm and I'm very keen. Thanks again.
Great Review! bought one. 👍👍👍
I wish I discovered bone conduction headphones much sooner. They're a game changer for me. I use the Aeropex though and they're good. I don't have much trouble with calls outside.
Love the shake test
@Keira McVitty Did you maintain your position about calls (microphone) during the ride? Is quality really so poor?
Hi Keira, did you try connecting to the in flight entertainment bluetooth?
Nice presentation thx
Hi Keira, is there a difference in sound quality between the Openmove and aeropex? I've been considering buying a pair for ages it's the quality of sound that puts me off
Is it better than earbuds that have a microphone which allows you to hear surrounding, aka HearThrough?
Nice Tee! Classy 😎
I really enjoyed using these after watching this review. People just don't understand what these are meant for. Worth getting!
What's about wearing with winter cycling cap or sunglasses?
I own a titanium and after a while, the left speaker started producing extra rattling sounds when playing anything of medium volume or higher. I replaced it using the warranty but the buzzing came back after 2 months. I can only conclude that it is an inherent flaw in the manufacturing and or design. Does this issue appear in your Openmove unit after all this while? If there isn't a problem I am so ready to make the jump.
Magnets for keeping them securely on your head 😳
I’m super curious to know what effect bone conduction headphones have on the cranial bones, over say the period of time of an average ride / long term usage 🤔
How are these for sleeping, I have aeropex and titanium, aeropex is best while titanium isn't comfortable while lying, pls
If they were the same price would you buy the Openmove or the Airs? Is there anything the Airs do better?
For a regular glass wearer, are openrun (aeropex) better than openmove or are they similar? Getting the openmove for $35 while openrun is $100 this black friday.
Good review. Interesting pro/cons, call quality and positioning compared to the rest of the range (Aeropex, actually).
By the way: just ordered one for a first try out. The Opencomm is a bit too expensive (but makes sense for me due to homework) fir a first trial.
Could be interesting for my wife too (she's a nurse on night shifts, must always hear everything around here)
Does every Aftershokz Headphone has the voice activation which is part of the titanium model?
The usb charge connector is not good thing when it comes to reliability.
The Aeropex have sealed magnetic connector that is very waterproof and resistant
to sweat corrosion. Carrying an extra non standard cable is a pain, but I prefer
A more robust connector. I own the Aeropex and use them for cycling and zoom
calls...great review!
I think that the magnets are to keep the ‘phones compact when not in use?
Otherwise nice review 👍
She seemed to think the magnets help them stay in place when on your head lol.
@@duathlete827 I’m glad you’ve confirmed my suspicions. I thought that I’d missed something.
If you cycled with a spoon in your mouth, then the magnets would work? No?
Kiera, are we ever gonna see you on a fixed gear bike again?
How do the magnets help stability on your head, unless you have a steel plate in the sides of your head? I want to try something like these but as a glasses wearer they’re out.
You mean to say you're a cyclist and you don't have a steel plate in your head yet? You've obviously been riding too carefully friend!
They are designed with spectacle wearers in mind, I wear mine with my normal spectacles, my cycling sunglasses and safety glasses I sometimes wear when working in my workshop.
@@alancragg6183 ah thanks. This is helpful, I also wear glasses.
Are great for phone call
Thanks it's a good review!! I got a question, how does it looks with loose hair?
Still good, I put them underneath my hair and it's barely noticable. I am always using them for zoom calls :P
@@KeiraMcVitty thanks Keira, it was an important question to me haha
Cycle and call , I wish you tested more. Because some people are up for
I have tried on Openmove in an offline store before, and I think it is a good entry-level product, but its features are too limited and it is not very comfortable to wear. Later, I chose Openrun Pro and spent a lot of money. But Openrun Pro's water resistance is not high. When I wanted to go swimming, I bought a Wissonly Hi Runner in the end. It has become a must-have item for me, whether for running, cycling, swimming, or GYM
thanks
I prefer the aeropex just because the vibration is less noticeable at louder volume.
2:24 Unfortunately, I don't have a metal head 😁. Good review though.
They're great for listening to audiobooks, Abysmal for listening to music, simply wretched.
Wow~ very good~^___^
Ehhh magnets don't stick to your head unless your head is metal... the magnet is to keep them together if you wear the aftershokz around you neck.
So you have a thin neck
A non starter as I wear glasses, noticed you did not wear any glasses on your test . just proves my point.
I have some aeropex and wear glasses, no problem at all when cycling
@@richardhampton2830 Sorry they do not work with glasses I did try a set of my friends last year just felt uncomfortable and bulky and made my glasses feel like they were going to fall off and at £400 I dont want to take the risk. Have seen other reviews saying the same no good with glasses.
You should have cut the music on the call test.
Cool kit. I had an older model and some kit removed them from my helmet while i was buying coffee!
No one mentions the annoying UI beeps??
*************PLEASE ANSWER ********I'm doing a project. I need to hear the outside when wearing the headset. and most importantly, can we listen to 8d music.so it sounds good only in in-ear headphones.Need to perfectly understand where the sound is coming from. I have no opportunity to try the product.So does it have perfect stereo capability. if I buy it and it's not what I want it would be wasted. can someone using the product please write. a very important project
Can't help with the rest but I can help with the first part. My boyfriend is a archeologist and he has the titanium ones and he loves them and says he can hear around him when he's out in the field.
@@britt1891 ohh thank you..
I've found these the best for cycling. I've used mine for thousands of miles and I wouldn't use anything else. Now this is going to come down to expectations. Given the functionality of this type of head set expecting them to sound anything like ear buds or over the ear headsets well frankly there's no hope for your dimwittedness. That aside if you keep an open mind and actually consider how they work you'll be happy with them.
Actually coming from high end headphones and speakers I'd say, in earplug mode at least, they sound surprisingly good - notably in terms of imaging. The clarity is pretty good too all things considered, but the highs do of course sound veiled, although fiddling with positioning of how the drivers sit on your face do affect this. Pretty surprising tbh
Hey guys! If you're looking for waterproof & high-quality bone headphones made for both indoor and outdoor exercise - even swimming, MXT headphones is the way to go. You're welcome 😜

Your dad @7:43 had me cracking up :)
I find these to be more uncomfortable compared to the Aeropex. I can only wear the OpenMove for a couple of hours before they get annoying. The Aeropex sounds better too. Too bad it's expensive
Double the price minor upgrades
Only for swimming
Magnets….hmmmmm
Hi Keira! Great test and lovely name! I want to offer the last openrun to my wife. She loves to walk for pleasure. She has long hair and leave them free. I'm wondering if i buy a standard or a small one (don't tell me to measure her head, it's a present for Christmas). I'm also wondering if it has to be under hair or on? Can you advise me?
Sad she isn't aware of the properties of ferrous metals.
Her credibility loses when she said that magnet is for your head. 🤣🤣. Those magnets are necessary components use to resonate electric signal and cause the speaker to vibrate. I got mine a week back and listening to music would never be the same again. Having sensitive earlobe and ear canal can cause swelling if earbuds uses for long period of time. I have Apple Pro and bose headsets but this is now my favorite music gadget.
magnets to keep it on the head? hahahahahah my head isnt metal
U r cute+
seems rerecording the out of focus bits would have made sense no? especially since this was paid for by sponsor... poor them
Who cares, aftershocks have been given them away like candy to get some traction. It was a fine review and she was cute with the metal head 🤪
